			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.metrocrete.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/book-1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-989" title="book-1" src="http://www.metrocrete.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/book-1.jpg" alt="" width="175" height="270" /></a>I just released The Professional Contractors Guide To Prospering In Niche Markets. The Guide as I refer to it is a must read for contractors and manufacturers. It shows how to analyze the &#8220;Sweet Spot&#8221; for any business. Once the sweet spot is identified then you target your market.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">An example I use is a floor coating. After analyzing the cost and time to apply a concrete coating it became obvious that retail and restaurant floors were the target market. The result was to specialize in 75 Grocery anchored shopping centers in a 15 mile radius with at least 20 stores. Typical vacancy in retail is about 7% so that&#8217;s 100 vacancies and leads per year.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In The Guide I explain how to develop the market in a step by step system. There are  few companies that have figured out the formula. Those make a lot of money and expand.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">If you&#8217;re a manufacturer The Guide will help you understand why your contractors don&#8217;t do more business with you and what to do about it. If you&#8217;re a contractor you will learn how to adjust your business to make it highly profitable. If you&#8217;re a contractor The Guide will make the difference. You just need to where and how to target your skills.</p>

<p>I recently completed a business educational manual titled The Contractors Guide To Prospering in Niche Markets. It&#8217;s a 200 page guide for construction professionals showing how to increase profitability by developing an efficient targeted business. It will be released for sale Wednesday Decemeber 10th.</p>
<p>In October 1987 I went through the CB Richard Ellis training program which made a science of <strong>prospering in</strong> <strong>niche markets</strong>. The system was based on product and geographic specialization.</p>
<p>Over the past 20 years I have improved and applied the program with tremendous financial success. I have taught many who have succeeded and watched others fail who thought they had a better way. I&#8217;ve applied it to numerous markets and have worked as a consultant to real estate investment companies, contractors, brokers and others in industries unrelated to real estate.</p>
<p>Todays inexpensive technologies provide contractors who are willing to learn with tools that will turbo charge the program. Effectively blogs &amp; newsletters can transform a business. It&#8217;s not hard to use these tools to dramtically increase productivity when you know how.</p>
<p>Here are some of the topics that will be covered in The Guide To <strong>Prospering In Niche Markets</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>How to analyze the economic feasability of your business</li>
<li>Defining your target market</li>
<li>Presentations that close the sale and smoke the competition.</li>
<li>How to develop your network and become the leader in your market</li>
<li>How to research keywords for your local market and use them to rank at the top of Google and other search engines in 20 minutes. This is where everyone is searching.</li>
<li>How to use e-newsletters to drive business to you.</li>
<li>How to use blogs as a sales tool and be presold when meeting with your client</li>
</ul>
<p>The Guide is packed full of quality information in a step by step format. It is designed to be used daily as your personal coach. It is a guide to <strong>prospering in niche markets</strong>. If you are interested in learning more send me an e-mail at <a href="mailto:ejw@creteventures.com">ejw@creteventures.com</a> or call me at 203-762-1366.  Pricing and availability will be announced on Wedneday December 10th.</p>
